AJ,
One issue that I found in using load balancer in front of cassandra nodes is
that a single node might become bogged down by compaction, or other actions
unrelated to the client. If the load balancer does not pick this up in
time, it might route client requests to the node that is temporarily
overloaded.
In practice, I've found it better for the client to have a pool of
connections, and then retry as needed to distinct nodes rather than use a
load balancer.
